Extended spectrum beta lactamases (ESBLs) are enzymes that mediate resistance to β-lactam antibiotics by opening the beta-lactam ring of penicillin derived antibiotics, and other family of antibiotics, rendering them ...

Rice, the second most important cereal crop globally, is mainly grown for food and is a staple food for more than half of the world’s population. In sub-Saharan Africa biotic stresses and lack of resources are major ...

Cassava has been recognized as an important crop to more than 600 million people around the world prompting scientists to look for ways to improve the crop’s nutritive qualities, enhance its resistance to diseases and ...

Production of cocoa contributes significantly to poverty reduction and generates
huge foreign exchange earnings for national development. Fermentation of cocoa
beans is the most critical stage in production of cocoa ...

Cassava is the fifth most important food crop in the world. The importance of
cassava in Africa cannot be overstated. As a drought-tolerant crop that does well in
poor soils, it enhances household food security and is a ...

Banana and plantain (Musa spp.) are important staple food crops for rural and urban consumers and provide a source of income for resource poor farmers in the humid tropics of sub-Saharan Africa. However, banana production ...

Cowpea is a diploid plant species which contributes significantly to food security in developing
countries, especially in Africa. This research project was carried out in view of the upcoming
introduction of Bt cowpea ...

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz), is an energy giving food and has a crucial role in many of the world‟s least developed countries by providing not only food but also economic security. However, its productivity has been ...

Sweetpotato, Ipomoea batatas L. (Lam.), ranks among the top six most important food crops in the world. It is widely grown throughout the world especially in the developing countries with high and stable yield, strong ...

Drought is one of the major abiotic constraints contributing to low productivity in maize. In tropical region, it causes grain yield losses of as high as 70% while
complete crop failure is also common depending on the ...

Maize supports lives of more than half of the population in Africa yet its production is extremely affected by drought. Yield losses of up to 70% are frequently attributed to drought stress. However, in extreme cases, total ...
